CASE STUDY
MediBot is an autonomous delivery robot used in hospitals to transport medicines to patients.
Equipped with arms, grippers, wheels and sensors, it navigates hospital corridors efficiently
while avoiding obstacles such as patients, staff and equipment. Controlled by a microcontroller,
MediBot ensures timely deliveries and operates seamlessly in busy hospital environments. The
robot is designed to deliver medications promptly, identify the correct patient rooms and avoid
disruptions, enhancing overall hospital workflow and patient care. Additionally, MediBot can
be integrated with hospital management systems to track delivery progress, ensure accurate
medication distribution and even provide real-time updates to staff. By reducing the workload
on hospital staff and improving medication delivery efficiency, MediBot plays a vital role in
enhancing patient outcomes and hospital operations.
Based on the above case, answer the following questions:
1. What type of robot is MediBot?
2. Which sensors help it avoid bumping into people or walls?
After studying this chapter, students can explore careers in fields such as robotics engineering,
AI specialisation and robot design.
